AHIS 3 Writing Assignment Using the WartenbergThe Nature of Art Text

For this unityou were required to pick one of the Wartenberg readings and master it and post on it for your peers.   For this writing assignment you will utilize the reading that you chose to demonstrate it as a methodology to compare and contrast a work of art or architecture from each chapter in this unit (27,28, &29) Your essay should be 3-5 pages and have at least 5 paragraphs.  An intro paragraph on the framework that you are taking from the readings, a paragraph for each work of art you chose and a paragraph in conclusion.

One example might be the excerpt in your text from Walter Benjamin’s essay “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”.  I might pick Daumier, Kasebier, & Hoch.  We could then look at the auratic difference between the lithograph, the photograph and the mechanical image collaged.  The intro and conclusion would frame the discussion that would take place on each of the images.

Please follow the English department’s guidelines for essay writing and citations using the MLA format.  You are expected to list both the Wartenberg text and the Gardner textbook as works cited in order to demonstrate your knowledge of proper citation practices.

MAKE SURE YOU ATTACH THE ASSIGNMENT TO THE DROP BOX!  I WILL NOT GRADE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT ATTACHED.   The best file formats are MS Word and .rtf.
